Modern primitives are people in developed nations who engage in body modification rituals and practices derived in part from rite of passage practicies in primitive cultures. Practices include body piercing, tattooing, play piercing, flesh hook suspension, corset training, scarification, branding, and cutting. The motivation for engaging in these varied practices may be personal growth, rite of passage, spiritual, sexual, or curiosity.
Fakir Musafar is considered the father of the modern primitive movement.
